In the beginning….

Shana Goldman's Stage School was founded in 2003 by Shana Goldman & Michael Witcomb. Their aim was to establish a school where children could learn artistic skills in a warm, friendly environment, whilst achieving the highest performance standards enabling many to work professionally in film, TV and theatre. Particular attention was paid to nurturing the individual student, building confidence whilst having fun.

In 2007 Shana was forced to retire from the business due to ill health and the business was sold to Sarah Dormady and Matthew Turner. Sarah was already teaching at the school and therefore was able to ensure that the strong foundations laid by Shana and Michael would continue.

What the future holds…

We are committed to bringing the best teachers and highest standards of training to our school, we aim to produce performers that are confident and equipped with the skills to enable them to pursue a career in the arts. We aim to keep class sizes small and children happy. We encourage input from families and look forward to growing the community spirit within the school.

Keep an eye on our news pages to see new developments, including adult classes, Russian ballet, school shop, masterclasses and in house productions
